Binary posts do not belong in unmoderated discussion groups.

I run a program that searchs for, and issues advisory cancels for,
large binaries in the akr, biz, comp, misc, news, rec, and sci
hierachies.

I have issued 14 cancels for large binary files (average size 156,261
characters - total size 2,187,658 characters) posted to 11 different
unmoderated discussion groups in the comp and rec hierarchies with
cross-posts into fido7 and t-nes groups as follows:
   4 comp.os.ms-windows.apps.misc
   1 t-nez.modem.usr
   1 rec.ponds
   1 rec.games.frp.dnd
   1 rec.autos.sport.nascar
   1 rec.arts.comics.marketplace
   1 rec.arts.comics.alternative
   1 fido7.modem
   1 comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard.tech
   1 comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard.misc
   1 comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard.advocacy
   1 comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc
   1 comp.dcom.modems

The cancels in the non-targeted groups are an unavoidable consequence
of the way cancels work.  A cross-posted article is only one article.
When it is canceled from one group it is canceled from all groups.

This pointer is being posted to each affected group listed above.

If you want to see exactly which file was deleted from a particular
group, or the criteria that I used to select it, read the full report
in news.admin.net-abuse.announce.  Look for AR199 as in the
subject of this pointer.  The full report can also be found in
alt.nocem.misc and alt.retromod.


Please direct public feedback to news.admin.net-abuse.misc and private
feedback to red@redpoll.mrfs.oh.us.  Thanks.

Best wishes,
Dick
